To conform. Meet expectations. Get successful. Look good. Take the right decisions. And to be happy all the time.
It’s a long journey and the pressure is unending.
With every new start, comes in the pressure to prove yourself. Be it a new job, a new relationship or a new initiative.
This is followed by the pressure for validation. By your colleagues, manager, family and society.
And finally, once you are there and everyone looks up to you, there’s pressure to just be there. To maintain and defend your position.
While dealing with the pressure, it’s important to acknowledge that it’s self-induced.
What you choose to do with the pressure is your choice. If it isn’t helping you achieve what you want, don’t embrace it. Once you ignore it, it goes away.
